Job advertised at the ELF project in Vienna

As I was going over my email after the holiday break, I came across the following job advertisement which may be of interest to some readers of this blog. Apparently, Barbara Seidlhofer’s research group are looking for a research assistant, who will help out with their English as a Lingua Franca research. This job is addressed at MA holders who might be interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in ELF. The deadline is quite tight I am afraid (applications must be submitted by 12th January 2015), but I still hope that the information does not come too late.

The ideal candidate is described as someone having:

Good knowledge of descriptive and applied linguistics;

Interest in and knowledge of English as a Lingua Franca;

Experience with or willingness to employ corpus-based research methods;

Willingness to develop and carry out a PhD project on English as a Lingua Franca;
